Desolation, desolation, i owe so much to desolation.
Desolation
Towns are full of people, houses full of tenants, hotels full of guests, trains full of travelers, cafés full of customers, parks full of promenaders, consulting-rooms of famous doctors full of patients, theatres full of spectators, and beaches full of bathers. what previously was, in general, no problem, now begins to be an everyday one, namely, to find room.

Every act of motherhood contains a dual intent, as the mother holds the child close and prepares it to move way from her, as she supports the child and stands it firmly on its own feet, and as she guards it against danger and sends it out across the yard, down by the stream, and across the traffic-crowded highway. unless a mother can do both - gather her child close and turn her child out toward the world - she will fail in her purpose.

Tereza's mother never stopped reminding her that being a mother meant sacrificing everything. her words had the ring of truth, backed as they were by the experience of a woman who had lost everything because of her child. tereza would listen and believe that being a mother was the highest value in life and that being a mother was a great sacrifice. if a mother was sacrifice personified, then a daughter was guilt, with no possibility of redress.

Motherhood involves a special communion with the mystery of life, as it develops in the mother's womb. the mother is filled with wonder at this mystery of life, and 'understands' with unique intuition what is happening inside her. in the light of the 'beginning', the mother accepts and loves as a person the child she is carrying in her womb. this unique contact with the new human being developing within her gives rise to an attitude towards human beings - not only towards her own child, but every human being - which profoundly marks the woman's personality.
Mother Children Attitude
Will you teach your children what we have taught our children? that the earth is our mother? what befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth. this we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. all things are connected like the blood that unites us all. man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. one thing we know: our god is also your god. the earth is precious to him and to harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator.

In rural areas of america, there is a growing increase in poverty, homelessness and hunger. you cannot separate these factors from domestic violence ?- a mother with three kids and no financial security is going to stiffen her lip and take the abuse, because not only does she have nowhere else to go, she has three children depending on her for survival.
